Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Holy torch my perdition
How important you will be
Why don't you lay down right beside me?
Won't you lay it all by me?
[Chorus]
I'm not an apparition
But I'll haunt you, you'll see
[Verse 2]
Clad in ballads, wine, and orchids
'Cause I know the kind you seek
You used to lay down all around me
You used to lay it all by me
[Chorus]
No, it's not just adulation
I will hold you for me
[Verse 3]
I cut the grass, tend the flowers
Downing bottles by the crease
Light a smoke up in the sun room
And pretend I'm a tree
[Chorus]
Prove it not, rock of ages
In a row, their lies to me
[Verse 4]
Winter costs you peace of mind now
Winter cost your Valentine
Why won't you come back on the runner?
Won't you come right backside
[Outro]
I'll be singing for your health
I'll be righteous, you'll see
